Selene vs Brock? Go for it. c: In this case I think I can trust you to play Brock.

Also, I've been thinking about how some of us have second characters. I think Jack handled it reasonably well, but then I thought to myself...

Why not have the second characters not take up an extra slot? After all, having a second character doesn't have the same impact as having another roleplayer, and we're running out of slots for new joiners. Therefore, I'm going to re-arrange the page again to accommodate this change. Four roleplayer limit per dorm. Two character limit per roleplayer.

Therefore, I'm pleased to announce that everyone that wants one is allowed to have a second character.


ALSO, if by any chance you want to have an OC appear here, but either have a second character or don't really feel like playing them full time, consider simply making them an NPC. Instead of a random generic trainer you meet and battle, make it the OC in question. Keep in mind that the limitation of this is that you're not supposed to write your post from the eyes of the NPCs like you do your applied-for characters.

That's just an idea I'm throwing out there for your guys' convenience. Food for thought, if you will.

At your own leisure. c: I'm almost done changing the page to reflect this. The accepted roleplayers section will be completely redone, and an "Accepted Main Characters" and "Available Spots" section will be added.

Edit: Done! After some thought I combined the Accepted Main Characters and Accepted Roleplayers sections since having two was pointlessly having extra spoilers.

Hey, um, I have another idea. What about raising the level cap for a persons SU pokemon? After all, it's currently 15, the same as the wild pokemon level cap. What do you guys think of this?

Indeed. I've changed the sign up for students to reflect it. On that note, the max starting levels will probably never rise above 25. Just throwing that out there.

I'm good with that. Heh, that's still pretty strong. :D

I finally decided to make a second character. Fuyu, you will definately recognise the name. I get the feeling he's going to be very fun to play. We don't have enough nutjobs yet. Sorry about the one liners for my pokemon personalities. I kind of burned out on Quin's. :P

Name (First, Middle-optional and Last): Quincy Zaraneth Marley Doreen the 3rd

Nickname (Optional): Quin, Zara

Age (10-15):15

Gender (Male or Female): Male

Dorm (Raikou Dorm, Entei Dorm or Suicune Dorm): Raikou Dorm

Appearance (A picture will do but describe what he/she wears otherwise and any other information): 1 Paragraph

Quin is kind of tall for his age. He is very skinny, and has almost no body fat. His hair is a wild tangled mess of red that goes halfway down his back and spikes around his head. His eyes are dark grey, and are very shifty and untrusting. He constantly has an expression of confusion, amusement, and joy. He wears long pants that resemble kaki slacks. His shirt is a green polo shirt with an odd emblem on them. He wears a silver ring with the same emblem.

Personality (How does your character act? Do people enjoy being around you?: 2 Paragraphs

Quin hears voices in his mind, and constantly bickers with them. This leads to some odd one-sided conversations with himself. When he's not arguing with himself, he's usually ranting about some wild crazy conspiresy(I think I spelled that right.) or another. Theories you have only to ask about and he'll tell you every little detail. If he's ever right with them, it's merely coincidence.

Also, he's very outgoing, and will impose himself and his theories on anyone that even shows a slight interest in him. Quin is very confident and honest, even with his theories, which he truly believes in. He will debate everything furiously, but will back down if he loses the debate.

When the voices win on certain arguements, he adopts an entirely different personality. While normally, Quin is relatively harmless, Zaraneth, his split personality, is downright aggressive. Zara, as he likes to be called, will not hesitate to use violence to get his point across. Like Quin, he fights for what he believes in, and is very protective of those he considers his allies. The way to tell when Zara is in charge is when He suddenly goes silent.

History (Where did you grow up? Why you decided to go to the trainer school? Family? Etc..): 3 Paragraphs

Quin's father is the owner of a very large medical firm. As such, he and his family are very rich. When he was 25, he met the girl of his dreams and the two of them got married and had a son. They named him Quincy Zaraneth Marley Doreen.

Quin was the third in his family to be named this. His mother and father were cousins once removed they got married and had a child before they found out they were related. Horrified, they kept it a secret and wanted to hide their son. Due to their vast wealth, they were successful in keeping his existance a secret. It was clear that Quin had been effected by this, as he developed his severe mental problems. He also began to use the internet to learn all of his wild theories.

At the age of ten, his parents bought him a wide selection of pokemon to give him a companion. Being the person he is, he selected three pokemon to protect him from the aliens that were after him. He began training for the battles he knew were ahead of him. At the age of fifteen he learned of Professor Oak's Academy, and this fell in line with one of the few theories he was actually right about, so he set off in the dead of night to join the school. Due to an encounter with the aliens, he missed the ferry to the island and had to get there on his own.

Keep in mind when creating characters, guys, you're on an island full of absurdly powerful and competent goody two shoes (Namely, the staff). And your character is going to be a student under them.

Just don't want anyone to make a mistake they regret later down the road.

Anyway, that being said, your secondary character is accepted, Nideous. c: Nicely done, and I'll record him poste haste.

Name: Ciel Vespera
Nickname: N/A
Age: 13
Gender: Male

Dorm: Suicune

Personality: Ciel seems very quiet, the quiet that indicates a lack of confidence. It's mostly around humans, who he's had very little interaction with, due to being in a small private school and the early years of his life were spent away from him. He isn't particularly wild, but people scare him and he works hard to not be noticed by others. He believes it's safer. Very few people can talk to him without him instantly looking away and shaking like a mess. Those people are mostly around his own age (or his little brother), including overly protective Miranda Ambera. He seems like a bit of a crybaby, easily overwhelmed. However, Pokemon fix that problem, mostly. If he talks to the Pokemon, he shows few of the issues he shows around humans. He's still shy, but people he's not used to can manage a conversation if he speaks with the Pokemon first. He's not an expert with Pokemon but he can definitely talk with them better than humans. HE will sometimes say things that are unusual, very matter-of-fact, and they usually end up true. HE knows how odd he sounds.

Ciel is actually rather pragmatic, understanding he was a pretty good target. He has taken care of people who make fun of him by being that way, actually kicking another kid's teeth in while he was being teased. He normally doesn't stand up for himself but instead gets in the way of others being trampled on. It's pure impulse in all honesty. He doesn't understand why he does it. Maybe this journey will teach him. Ciel is frequently hit with insomnia and will spend most of his time staring up at the night sky. He usually sleeps during the day not long afterward. He cares for Pokemon a lot and isn't afraid of them, even the most terrifying or evil. Ciel believes that they are good as well and will only harm him if he does something wrong.

Appearance: Ciel is an olive-skinned male at 87 pounds and at 4'11 inches, around the average for a male his age. He has long, shaggy, stringy black hair that falls messily over his head and eyes, hiding the orbs behind his bangs. He does brush it but it still falls like that anyway. His eyes are a deep solemn grey, almost constantly in the deer-in-headlights look when around people. He is nimble and lean, yet looks roughly around the age of a rookie trainer. It likely has to do with his behavior. On his left hand is a swirled sort of bookmark, seeming to have no significance. Honestly don't ask Ciel; he won't know.

He dresses in natural modesty, not that he understands that. He has a red and blue string anklet with black beads weaved in resting on his right ankle and a silver hoop in his left earlobe. Ciel wears a sleeveless grey shirt under a black hooded jacket. The jacket is usually left open and has white stitching in its pockets. On the right side is a Spell Tag stitched on to the hoodie. His pants are blue cargo pants and undecorated, his shoes and dirty. His shoelaces are in need of replacement, the white laces almost destroyed. The sneakers are sea-blue except for the laces and the soles. His hands are covered in black, fingerless gloves.

History: Ciel was born in Viridian City to a quiet mother and flighty father. The man loved his family for certain, but he preferred the life of wandering. Ciel's mother never forgave that and divorced not long after, a friend of the family becoming his stepdad. Ciel never knew it was any different. At least, not until he turned ten. But by then it didn't matter. Ciel's mother was a Lavender Town citizen until her marriage, so she was a devout believer in respecting the dead and of ghosts, having been able to sense things most didn't, a gift she had passed on to her son. Until he was five, his mother quietly supervised his visits to the Viridian Forest, either personally or with her Kadabra. Since he was little, he played with his best friend Miranda or by himself. Most children were forbidden to enter the Forest. So he was used to Pokemon and barely knew many humans.

When he turned six, he was signed up with Miranda at the Pokemon Public School in Viridian. It was his first meeting with more than a few people. He thought it would be uncomfortable but okay. Ciel couldn't have been more wrong. It was too exciting and loud, there were too many people, and he was quickly overwhelmed by the noise. It took the school the whole day to find him curled up under a tree trunk, trembling at the outskirts of the Indigo Plateau. How he had gotten there unscathed would have been a mystery if not for the Pokemon growling at anyone who came within a five foot radius.

His mother took action and moved back to her hometown and enrolled him in the private school. Of course, Miranda had to tag along, refusing to leave her best friend behind. This helped immensely and slowly, he began to overcome his social phobia, though it never did go away. The teasing didn't either, until he fought back, courtesy of Pokemon encouragement. Ciel usually avoided that however, keeping to himself. The fact that a majority of the kids there were quiet and focused, not the same in their excitement as in Viridian, gave Ciel more encouragement. In school, he excelled, to everyone's surprise. However, what caught the Academy's attention wasn't his school work but his small fame as a psychic. Miranda hated it but Ciel's mother encouraged him to go despite her own misgivings. HE got top marks in the exam on both parts, due to the individual sessions in his school. He has been on the Island since the first day, but has gone mostly unnoticed.

Gotcha. c: I'll go ahead and fix it when I enter his team in the player profile section.

Tommorow's Classes
Tommorow's classes will be a bit unusual. All of the main characters will have a class on their schedule called "Type Specialization Elective". What this means is that they get to choose a pokemon type and go to a specialist in that type. If you look at the classes list you'll notice not every type has a specific teacher attached. The three champions will be available to teach any type specialization that doesn't have a more specific teacher available, and if all three champions are busy, Prof. Gary Oak himself will step up to fill a similar role.

Speaking of which, I /will/ be looking over the available classes list and possibly be adding some extra teachers to specialize in some types up until tommorow actually comes in the RP. We're just about ready to move on.

Hey I've got a suggestion since this is a school and everything how about school events like pep rallies, dances, field trips and things like that? I have no idea how that would work though.

Ooooo I am loving Hunter's idea!

I was actually thinking of having Brogan's father hold a big Expo thing at HoTa in Saffron that the students of the Academy were invited to..? Could we organise that as a school trip?
